- **CPP-cost per patient, including all costs related to activities performed in operating room (surgical instruments), cost of 1 OR hour + recovery = 3600 NIS ($937) postoperative care including hospitalization, returning hospitalizations and ward costs (the cost per day of hospitalization = 3802 NIS ($990) and 30-days postoperative care). Annual robotic maintenance was 200,000 USD. Initial robotic system cost 2.5 million USD with assumed 7-year depreciation
